Two promotion-chasing sides in League Two, Colchester United and Grimsby Town are set to lock horns at JobServe Community Stadium on matchday 39. Colchester are eighth in the league standings and one measly point behind seventh-placed Grimsby Town. Here's our match prediction.
Colchester United suffered defeat in League Two for the first time since January 4 when they lost 4-1 away to second-placed Bradford City over the weekend.
Before this, the U's were on a 13-match unbeaten run, recording nine wins and four draws. Notably, they had won six consecutive matches before their loss to Bradford.
Danny Cowley's men should be confident of returning to winning ways in front of their home support. They are currently riding a three-match winning streak at JobServe Community Stadium and are unbeaten in six outings.
As for Grimsby Town, they put an end to their two-match losing streak in League Two when they beat Newport County 1-0 at home thanks to George McEachran's effort in the 64th minute.
Without dwelling much on their prior losing streak, the Mariners have been in good form in the league, winning six of their last ten matches (D2, L2).
David Artell's men have been a difficult side to beat when playing on the road. They are unbeaten in four league games with three wins and a solitary draw. During this period, they scored seven goals, highlighting their efficiency in the final third.
